My comment
It does help explain the religious zealousness to doctrine over facts and the bigoted demonizing of every gun owner. The obsessive fear overrides rationality.
was referring to the comments, such as you so thoughtfully provided, as examples of bigotry and zealotry found through out the Gun Control movement; not only those in that thread.
Comments such as-
when you buy a handgun you have already committed murder in your mind
you have the blood of children on your hands
or the willingness to sacrifice Democrats to the altar of Gun Control. As I've said in other posts-
I haven't seen any strict gun control proponent say "Yes, I'd rather have a pro-gun Democrat in Congress rather than give up the seat to a Republican. I have seen people say "So what, we don't need those kind of Democrats"
Gun control supporters are single issue voters. They are willing to sacrifice the party platform in an act of spite. Ironically they are making their goal ever more difficult to achieve with their short-sightedness.
And no, it was not a gun enthusiast who was first, or even second to look upon a knife as a deadly weapon.

What's odd is how someone believes having the right to self defense is a bad thing.

My "tradition" is using an 50+ yr old Schrade Walden ( maybe $3 new) for that chore.

You, sir, defend those who attack Democrats seeking reelection. Your own words demonstrate this

No hypocrisy- there is no call to defund Feinstein's reelection in there

Yeah, I did- because I knew Emken had no chance. What's your excuse for Begich?

So, far from apologizing, you choose to include others as "cowardly?" By name?

*All* gun control advocates that work against Dems should be trashed on a regular basis
